Why not get a license people will actually buy?

Do you think we could get Mama's Family figures?

This thread is more of an opinion than a statement. FTC has PLENTY of lines that people will buy as you can see in the posts.

I wish folks would really back off the ragging on FTC and just enjoy all of these awesome new lines.

Ditto!

F Troop hasn't made it into the public conscious like Gilligan's Island.

I was thinking of F Troop, which was way funnier than Gilligan's Island. Ken Berry is the ultimate straight man.

I am a BIG Gilligan' s Island fan, I watched the reruns since the 70s and reunion movies and cartoons! I have the 90s figures as well. I always wondered why Mego never made Gilligan figures. That is why I am excited FTC has the license and will make 8" Gilligan and Skipper in addition to 12" and remaining castaways if 1st figures sell well! I want all 7! Tina Louise Ginger is only cast member who has held out before, I hope she can be made and do not color Ginger's hair WHITE like on the cartoons!

i love Gilligans !sland ,i also have the figures produced in the 90s,When i heard them say that Gilligan would be done in "8" format,also
i thought YES! ,i just hope they do the whole cast ,And with a Gilligan feature film in the works ,i think the market is there .if Dallas were "8"
size i would be in for them ,i already pre-ordered the "8"dukes ,and in for all the 'worlds greatest heros,Batman 66 ,Conan & Tarzan .its a great
time for us Mego fans ,Lets not forget Emce/Bif bang pows great figures as well .

We need to get together and do a Maude figure--Bea Arthur deserves toy immortalization.

And it must have a voice chip .

Would it have the Male or Female body?? Or half and half?

I think the fact that I can't go to Entertainment Earth and purchase a Maude figure from BBP is an obvious sign of just how out of touch they really are.

I was just thinking about this last night, as well. The good thing about the generics with Chap Mei (at least recently) is that they will touch on movie themes that are coming out (or recently released). They had the Adventure line with all Mummy related things along the lines of the Mummy movies, and Pirates that could go alongside the Pirates of the Carribean, the new line of Elves and Orcs for after the Hobbit came out and now they have the Greek figures that you could say were in line with the Clash of the Titans 2 or prior to the two Hercules movies coming out this year. Pretty solid timing for generic figures. That would be the way to go for getting figures into ToysRuS, but again, you have to go on the cheap for generics. Outside of that, most of the Disney older stuff is based off of old stories so you could do a Prince Charming figure as long as it didnt resemble the Disney version. Again, timing would be everything like getting a Huntsman figure out prior to a Snow White themed film that wasnt going to flop and would appeal to children.

all that's at TRU and not at a company that is mostly built around the fanboy base that shops online. CTVT's pirates and stuff probably would have done ok at TRU or Dollar General when Jack Sparrow was big.

The picture of Cliff Clavin makes me wonder what the Cheers license would involve. I'd buy Seinfeld in a heartbeat for that matter.

Dukes of Hazzard seems to have a pretty healthy fan following. 327,000 followers on Facebook. I don't see FTC mentioned anywhere on those pages, I hope they are planning to market these beyond Mego fans.

Gilligan can't be an expensive license these days, probably a decent bet if they can get their marketing together for it. Dunno about Dallas.
